Whitney Wanderscheid, LPC-MH, LMHC

Whitney Wanderscheid is an LPC-MH (Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health) and an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with eight years of clinical experience. She practices in Iowa and focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, relationship and family challenges, parenting, anger, career issues, and coping with life changes.

Whitney describes her approach as client-centered. She prioritizes a strong working relationship and listens for what the person needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon. She uses different techniques to match what feels most helpful and comfortable for each person.

Her background includes work in school settings, private practice, and community mental health. That variety informs how she supports people facing everyday strain, caregiver stress, and communication problems. She also works with mood disorders, panic attacks, impulsivity, and issues like guilt, shame, or isolation.

In a typical conversation she helps identify patterns, try small changes, and notice what makes life easier. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools may be used to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Solution-Focused Therapy ideas are used to set short-term goals and track progress.

People who come because anger is causing problems at home or work can expect practical discussion about triggers, reactions, and next steps. To begin, she asks about current struggles and what the person hopes to change, then shapes sessions around those aims.
